VILLAGES
Thong Nai Pan Noi and Thong Nai Pan Yai form a double bay surrounded by jungle and are the most popular beaches of the Northeast area. Both bays have a gently sloping beach surrounded by swaying palms. We recommend taking a taxi, which will take about 40 minutes to get there. Thong Nai Pan is known for its chilled out atmosphere and seclusion from the crowds.
Haad Khuat, better known as Bottle Beach, is due to its perfect talcum sand by some considered as the most beautiful beach of Koh Phangan. The best way to get there is by longtail boat from Chaloklum. This beach is perfect for people who want to get away from it all. Be wary of the weather, as the boats can only travel in good weather.
Haad Than Sadet (or Had Than Sadej) is a quite isolated small bay away from the party scene with only very basic accommodation. Because the sea gets deep reasonably quick, it has good swimming. Than Sadet has a royal touch, since its waterfall is visited by several Thai Kings in the past.
NIGHTLIFE, BARS AND RESTAURANTS
Thong Nai Pan Noi has a small village with some restaurants and bars and the occasional beach party. Baan Pong offers an international menu and BBQ. Nice bars are the Jungle Bar, the I Sea Bar and the Hideaway Bar. The Flip-Flop Pharmacy a beach bar offering fresh draft beer and a free pool table. They have monthly parties as well.
Chantara is a restaurant located in Santhiya Resort. With its great views and extensive menu it is the perfect location for a romantic quality dinner. The Beach Club is located on the beach and offers a barbecue with fresh seafood, steaks and delicious cocktails every night.

Thong Nai Pan Yai is the longer one of the two beaches and is more quiet than its counterpart.
Going to the Full Moon Party while staying in Thong Nai Pan is not a problem since there are many taxis and boats going to and from Haad Rin on that particular night.
